I’m planning a workshop in a few days, I had the idea to put a Kiosk powered by a Raspberry Pi and a regular PC monitor, put it at the entrance, and let people register themselves before entering. Then the assistants could be registered in something that later would allow me to export into a csv.
Is there some software that allows me to do this?

Firefox has a kiosk mode using a cli flag, which if I recall correctly also prevents exiting fullscreen (though they can still close Firefox, or follow links off-site).
Thats as simple as it gets.
Great idea.
Btw. Its also possible to do this via VBA easily.
Or ask chatgpt to throw a python script in the bucket.
But the full window view of a webpage is far cleaner solution.
If a custom site is too involved, this should also be possible with Google forms.
Of course, then you would be expecting people to give their personal info to Google.
These projects came up in a quick search for something self-hosted:

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms
https://github.com/formio/formio.js
https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey
There are probably more.
Any text editor and a sheet of paper saying
Please type your name and press Enter
Maybe Vim so noone quits it by accident.
We DO want the poor soul to be able to use it though.
Quit by accident… Best laugh I've had in a while. Thanks.

Consider rpi camera + personal qr code for signing in. You would always get the same info and it would be seamless enough (probably) that people won't skip it as easily. Also could be easily expanded, like borrowing tools for instance or when leaving to get an idea how long people stay in for etc.
